This reels going to go on a 30-40# setup for the usual yak fishing suspects - YT, WSB, and Thresher. Mainly will be used for livebait, and also for yo yo iron.

I know the Sealines/Seagates are a favorite here because of there ease of maintenance. I've read good things about the Fathom so I'm leaning that way, but how do they compare as far as maintenance and durability goes?

Which would you get and why?
